Newsgroups
Rec.autos.tech, wiz.mopar, and rec.autos.misc are there, but your best bet for Chrysler related information and help is rec.autos.makers.chrysler (or alt.hi-po.mopars).
It is natural to speak more loudly when you have a complaint or have been wronged. Those who immediately post many messages saying how terrible Chrysler is are generally not appreciated. Be subtle and specific, and try to ask for help first - you may just get it. Also learn to separate bad dealers from Chrysler itself (not that Chrysler Customer Center reps are wonderful, but they're better than many dealers and most zone reps).
